I got this one over this summer (2008) and upon using it, I feel that this is good in its class. It has different functions which one should know before using it and it needs to be cleaned atleast once in a week. (i guess this cleaning thing applies to any cooler) It has been 9 months since I am using, I had never faced any issue as such wherein it didnt work.
Personally id recommend to anyone who asks me for buying an air cooler in this class. I know there are different coolers in the market, but this is my first purchase of a cooler and it did serve its purpose.
Thanks to Kenstar for providing me with such a nice cooler and Thanks to Vijay Sales
I love my cooler and when I started using it this winter, I really felt as if extreme winter is in place, though cooling function is kept off.
